Film trailer

Scream 4:

The trailer starts showing the main character and shows the typical scream movie mobile phone ringing, then the background music builds up quickly and builds tension all in a short space of time as the trailer is only 80 seconds long.

We are then shown the more important characters showing the expression on their face for a few seconds at a time, and this is coincided with a heart beat noise, which shows fear and anxiety.

For much of the scarier and more gruesome parts it is darker and the killer has kept his identity hidden, which is typical of the horror genre. The actual words that the characters say in the trailer are also related to the on goings and killings and you are also shown police cars and other signifiers or danger to show the scale of these murders.
